Round about...

Story by Jiblits on SoFurry

, , ,


With winds stronger than one can stand, I resist into the fray of tomorrow

Gusts pushing fears away, I tred evermore for chance at time to borrow

I sway through tear filled clouds darkening into the depths of ones own being

Forgetting eyes open & close, I imagine movement as I'm still, lost in what, & if I'm still seeing

Chills grasp each breath as I slow in my motion...

I'm losing feeling, with memories warm in mind, I dare not give into my worst notion

A blunder, a fumble, I slip to the ground unforgiving

For a moment, I give in & forget I'm still among the living

A way out easy, I fight for my stance

Heavy eyes wanting truth in lies, I give myself no chance

Up again, I stagger toward a journey not close to it's end

My next goal, is as the last....Just make it around the next bend...

My conscious light flickering out of control

My last thought is one mixing with a frightful toll

A flame bright as can be, but cold to the touch

I was asleep....after I tried so hard, gave so much....

Was this my final bow into the blind

Was I still to be me, was there nothing else to unwind

....Snow fall to cover any trace...

I felt only a light touch brush across my face

With many more to come as I stare to there falling

I was awake, body painful, face numb, I mustn't keep stalling

Lights man made make a smile appear in place of fear...

Shimmers nearing, I feel a spark of relief engulf my heart

As I near, familiarity begins to make no scents toward what lay before me.....

I'm back at the start.....

How could this be...

Misguided, mistaken, somewhere along the way, a wrong turn was made

Where a blur, my hope begins to fade

Into a place I tried to leave before

I head toward, looking for shelter evermore

As a sense of relaxation fills my mind, in this I find

Nothing so bad to which one should leave this place

Where I've made a life, made a familiar face

No.....this till I choose again will be a fine area to reside

There's nothing outgoing, but all the same, there's no reason to hide

Clarity in sight & thought, I gain remembrance of why I felt I should have forgot

With moon light bright as day, in this second chance, I found again, my way.....
